I have flown with many female pilots who were pushed through, given extra sim time - when the white males would have been sent home- and given many chances. They were just terrible pilots. Over my 25 year career, I had flown with several who deserved where they were but there are just certain jobs that need to avoid this affirmative action BS and give the job to the most qualified.
I think that should apply to every single job but you're right--there are some jobs that have no business playing the aa game.
